"Dover Beach" By Arnold: Irony, Images, And Illusions
Words: 476 - Pages: 2.... being there for one another.
The poet uses visual and auditory images to mainly help the romantic,
fantasy-like place. “The sea is calm, the tide is full” and “Of pebbles which
the waves draw back, and fling,” is an example of images that appeal to the
visual sense. While “ Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land” and “With
tremulous cadence slow, and bring...” uses an auditory sense. “Come to the
window, sweet is the night air,” can apply to both senses. Sweet can mean
angelic or precious to qualify to be an visual image, or it can mean almost like
a melodious tune.
Illusions are used in this poem as decepti .....

Imagery In Mathers' "Black Marigolds"
Words: 366 - Pages: 2.... torn
from his life, but he feels blessed for even experiencing that love. The
poet refers to her as "The whitest pouring of eternal light." She was like
a small shaft of light pouring into the dark room of his life.
A reoccurring image is found quite often throughout the poem which
adds a crisp flavor to the piece. The word "gold" is used frequently.
This image refers to the princess. It reflects and portrays everything
about her. She is gold; a rich, precious gem, unavailable to the poet.
The continued reference to this image symbolizes everything he lacks, but
yearns for. The poet elevates the princess to the value of gold, depicti .....

Differences In "Ode On Grecian Urn" And "Sailing To Byzantium"
Words: 528 - Pages: 2.... young in one other arms, bids in the tree. Those dying generations
of their song." (1,2,3) Imortality hit you in the face start off these lines. It
talks about old becoming young and birds and trees. This makes you think of
spring and vegetation and animals and life. Yates uses vivified examples such as
"An Aged Man is but a patty thing, a tattered coat upon a stick." (9,10) Yates
is describing a scarecrow or what you might call death. He also talks about a
maniacal bird in lines thirty and thirty-one. This is something that isn't dying
and will go on forever. These two images life and death help insure the
complexity of these poems. .....

Dickinson's "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" And "I Heard A Fly Buzz When I Died"
Words: 622 - Pages: 3.... a hell.
In the fifth stanza, Death and the woman pause before "...a House that
seemed A Swelling of the Ground- The Roof was scarcely visible- The
Cornice in the Ground-" (913). Although the poem does not directly say it,
it is highly probable that this grave is the woman's own. It is also
possible the woman's body already rests beneath the soil in a casket. If
this is at all accurate, then her spirit or soul may be the one who is
looking at the "house." Spirits and souls usually mean there is an
afterlife involved.
It isn't until the sixth and final stanza where the audience obtains
conclusive evidence that "Because I Could Not Stop For .....

Dulce Et Decorum Est: Analysis Of Military Life
Words: 695 - Pages: 3.... an outcry for human beings to stop
spreading the notion that men and women who die in battle also die in
honor.
Most of the men going off to fight during the World Wars could be
classified as men at all. A person would be oblivious to this fact,
however, if they relied on Owen's descriptive text alone concerning the
way he saw his fellow soldiers in combat while describing his chimera, for
they were "knock-kneed, coughing like hags"and "bent double, like old
beggars under sacks". These words don't necessarily bring to mind a
healthy 17-year old boy, does it? The other words he used- "drunk" "lame"
and "blind,"- all showed sold .....

Comparisons Of “Report Of The French Commission On American Education, 1879” To Mike Rose’s “I Just Wanna Be Average”
Words: 875 - Pages: 4.... youth, but in much opposite ends of the spectrum. The French commission stated that the youth of America were offered the same curriculum in the hopes to form a united, equal society. America, as seen by the French, was a land of golden opportunities available to every child regardless of social standing. It was the basis for our country to survive. It safeguarded our standing in the world. Mike Rose’s school offered quite the opposite. It was a haven for long standing views on school being selective as to whom actually deserved the education. The only hope of the present school system is a few dedicated professionals. They co .....

Point Of View In Three Edgar Allan Poe's Poems
Words: 1122 - Pages: 5.... it takes on a life of its own, and had no ability to control his mind"(Piethman 45). The narrator was always absorbed in the features of Ligeia and how wonderful she always looked. She was so perfect in every way that she could not possibly be human. This story could have been related to Edgar Allan Poe's could first wife's death that "Ligeia" was a part of him.

"Gunpowder Plot" By Vernon Scannell
Words: 582 - Pages: 3.... war time these beautiful fireworks kill and injure
people.
The man in the poem was in a war and being around the antics on a Guy
Falkes night bring back evil, unpleasant memories of war with people
dying. Later in the poem we learn that the man's brother had dies in the
war as the line reads : "I hear a corpse's sons -- 'Who's scared of
bangers!' 'Uncle, John's afraid!'
In the story the author uses a lot of comparisons, the first one we
come across is between fireworks and "Curious cardboard buds" where he
describes them as flowers that have yet to blossom and show their beauty.
Again later in the same verse he describes .....

Analysis Of The Poem "The Soldier" By Rupert Brooke
Words: 487 - Pages: 2.... heart, all evil shed away." These are the words of a man who
truly believes that his land is the greatest of good.
Images in "The Soldier" are extremely strong and persuading. One image
is the line "Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam." This line
evokes images of a beautiful woman cherishing and caressing the man who stands
at her side. Another line is "Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home."
This line creates a feeling of tranquillity and a unity with nature.
Another line that evokes a feeling of peace and happiness is, "Her
sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day." Without such strong images, the
poem woul .....
